what i've been doing #1: New band saw

Well i read a review on a craftsman 10 inch band-saw and seeing it was my birthday my wife bought it for me. The first thing i did was attempt to square it up. I have failed miserably. I will start again after some research on tuning a band-saw.I have made a cabriolet [hpoe i speeled that wright] leg out of a treated 4 by 4 so that generated me making a table to out of ceder. I will place it at the garden for when i am tired of hoeing and my wife and I will have coffee and enjoy our hard work. I love to hand cut dovetails but i just could not resist in using the band saw to cut some box joints. I was very impressed. I hope to have a few projects completed and some pictures to follow.

Be very careful breathing the dust from treated wood, it’s toxic to you as well as all the bugs.

I do alignments of equipment to thousandths of a degree and/or seconds of arc. It is an iterative process, and can get to be a PITA if you don’t have the patience or the time. You will get to a point of no returns, depending on your patience and needs. Good luck on the alignments.
